To Samuel Furly LONDON, January 14, 1764. MY DEAR BROTHER, I shall never think much of paying postage of a letter from you. We are all here now in great peace; and God is both widening and deepening His work. In that text I generally consider (1) what is implied in 'gaining the whole world'; (2) what in losing men's own souls; and show (3) what an ill bargain it would be to gain an whole world at that price. See sermon on The Important Question in Works, vi. 493-505; and letter of March 6. I hope you are still pressing on to the mark and counting all things loss for the excellency of the knowledge of Christ. I am Your affectionate brother.
